Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Habanita EDP
A legendary, polarising beast for those who dare, Habanita delivers a heavy hit of dark, powdery florals. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but those who love it, really love it. Just beware of reformulations - true fans seek out the older batches.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Vol De Nuit EDT
Vol De Nuit EDT is a divisive, ethereal beauty - some find it a sublime, sophisticated classic; others, a ghostly whisper or an outright vintage misstep. It’s an acquired taste that demands more from the wearer than just a quick sniff.

Season and Occasion Fit

Habanita

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Habanita's strong projection and longevity mean it's possibly too much for an office environment, but it's perfect for a statement on a date or a formal event. Its comforting yet dark character also makes it suitable for more relaxed evening wear.

Vol De Nuit

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Office
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its intimate sillage and soft, elegant profile make it suitable for office and casual wear, though its vintage character might not appeal to everyone for a date. The delicate performance means it sits close to the skin, preventing it from overwhelming formal occasions but making it unsuitable for sport.
